Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>After years of corruption world boxing\u2019s governing body (AIBA) can return to a good standing Olympic member, Richard McLaren, the head of the independent investigation commissioned by the AIBA has said.<\/p>\n

In the second of three reports to be issued by McLaren, the Canadian law professor detailed an organization (AIBA) spinning out of control, creating a decentralised system of match-fixing.<\/p>\n

In the initial findings of his investigation released in September, McLaren described a bout manipulation system that existed in boxing at the 2016 Rio Olympics and resulted in the removal of Executive Director Karim Bouzidi along with several referees and officials.<\/p>\n

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspended the AIBA in 2019, stripping it of involvement in this year\u2019s Tokyo Games over governance, finance, refereeing, and ethical issues. A decision on its role at Paris 2024 has yet to be taken.<\/p>\n

Boxing was not included in the initial sports program nL1N2SU1KD for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles announced by the IOC on Thursday.<\/p>\n

McLaren said he believes there has been improvement in the operation and administration of AIBA under the leadership of current President Umar Kremlev and Secretary-General Istvan Kovacs, but there was still much to be done with the third phase of his investigation and recommendations to come next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is hard for an organization to engage in self-reform,\u201d said McLaren. \u201cIf they do it is in a situation like AIBA is in with the IOC where they must or they are out.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it takes the right people with the integrity to run the organization, rules can be perfect but the people have to be better.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that happens and they implement the recommendations … I think it is possible for the sport to reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kremlev said AIBA was on the right track in terms of sports integrity but still needed to make more progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are already implementing some of the recommendations Professor McLaren has made,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we are very serious about making sure that fair fights are ensured by a powerful combination of regulations, processes, people, and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n
